Note that I qualified my statements as being predicated on the condition that one be treating MDD. I am not sure that MDD is what you are suffering from.

Yes.

No. Endogenous depression can respond to MAOIs. The dichotomy of treatment is not absolute. It represents a trend observed over the years. The last time you listed all of your symptoms, I had thought Nardil might help.

No guarantees.
